Fishermen from the Tomb of Kenamun (TT93)

Tomb of Kenamun or the Theban Tomb number (TT93) is situated in Sheikh Abd el-Qurna, start of the Theban Necropolis, on the westward bank of the Nile, opposite to Luxor.

The tomb belongs an 18th dynasty Ancient Egyptian named Qenamun who was the superintendent of the cattle of Amun and chief keeper of Amenhotep II. More than eighty epiteths of Qenamun were found in the tomb. Qenamun's mother, Amenemipet, was a wet nurse of Amenhotep II, which effectively made Qenamun a nurture brother to the young prince that would become king.

The tomb was famous in the early 19th century and was called by Champollion, Wilkinson, Lepsius and Prisse d'Avennes, but stayed largely overlooked until the late 1920s when the Metropolitan Museum of Art advertised The tomb of Kenamun at Thebes, which points the exploration and documents the content of the tomb.
